An Antrim farmer has claimed that filming of the The Lost City of Z in a nearby field has spooked his livestock.

Production of the film - made by Brad Pitt's company Plan B and starring Hollywood A-listers Charlie Hunnam, Robert Pattinson and Sienna Miller - has been in progress across Northern Ireland for months.

It tells the story of adventurer Percival Fawcett who journeyed into the Amazon in search of the lost kingdom of El Dorado only to vanish without trace.

Parts of the film are being shot on the Antrim coast.

Brad's facial hair is almost as confusing as his Chanel ad. Why Brad, why?

However, residents have had their feathers ruffled with large fires billowing smoke across the countryside as well as gunfire and explosions occurring during filming.

Jason McKillon, from Glenarm, told local paper The Larne Times that explosions have shaken his house and frightened his animals to the point where he thought a war was going on.

He said: "It started last Monday [September 14] with bangs, gunfire and small explosions. Then on Tuesday the bigger explosions started."

Jason said the explosions got louder as the days progressed, sending his neighbour's horses "spare", leaving his dog shivering under a chair, and all his hens missing.
